Michael Moore also said this in a story posted earlier today - TRUMP NEWS NETWORK
Vanity Fairs Sarah Ellison reported in June that Trump was already discussing plans for a mini-media conglomerate that would presumably leverage the supporters hes drawn to his presidential candidacy over the past year.
On Wednesday, The New York Times added to the growing speculation about Trumps post-election agenda. Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, publisher of the New York Observer, have quietly explored becoming involved with a media holding, either by investing in one or by taking one over, the Times reported.
The notion that a presidential candidate would be competing hardest in the waning months of an election for potential subscribers or viewers down the line is unprecedented in American politics. But Trumps recent actions have suggested to a number of journalists and political operatives that his greatest ambition might not be the White House.
